I've got a nude photo of President Bush 43 (allegedly--looks like him but could be any white trash or preppy dumbass) and have seen a locker room photo of Bush 41 that would curl your hair. Apparently many celebrities and notable people were photgraphed naked in the Victorian Era so that their bodies could be identified if they were kidnapped and killed. There may be nude photos of Abraham Lincoln (speaking of fugly) and the nude photo of Mark Twain that Charles Montgomery Burns has in his secret treasury may really exist (that's the sort of stuff that Simpsons writers can be counted on to know).

And for the very brave or foolish, a Canadian artist painted an odelesque of a nude President Kitten-Eater Sweatervest. You don't really want to know that though, so forget it before it is seared on the inner eye of your soul.

I don't think that that's why they were photographed nude--you might be thinking of the Ivy League nude photos that were taken of all incoming freshmen. Correlate the years and the schools and you get a nice selection of upper-crust baby boomers (including at least a couple of presidents and First Ladies) that supposedly dropped trou for science. (Me, I think that it was probably one of the greatest scams ever devised for the benefit of a few horny academics.)

As for these Victorian nudes, pics or it didn't happen. (And, no, I'm not talking about straight-up daguerrotype porn--I've seen plenty of that.) With the amount of trauma, decay and other changes that can come over a body, particularly as the result of murder, they'd be much better off with dental records.
